Welcome one and all to the 5KP Museum.
Our main rule in the coming weeks is don't delete!. Lets use this space to build ideas and information. Close to the end of this project we will move towards launching a Global Native Wiki that will be used for years to come.
First we need to decide on a color for our Wiki and a photo or image for our top left corner....surely we can come up with something way better!
The Groups
The groups are set, and so it begins......While the groups have been set, no tribe has been delegated. As a group, you will need to decide which tribe you would like to represent. Think of the information you would like to contribute to. A class discussion on who wants which tribe will follow.
A great class discussion with google chat also working behind the scenes to come up with plausible reasons as to who should do which tribe!!! Great work 5KP.
The tribes are set and the information exploration and gathering begins.

Ms Boyer has developed some examples of how your resources page should be set out. Use the following four to guide you
Williams, Suzanne Morgan. Chinook Indians. Chicago, Illinois: Heinemann Library, 2003.This book is very useful in providing information about the lifestyle and culture of the Chinook. There are many examples(pictures) of possible cultural artifacts about this tribe that show their cultural identity.
"Chinook Indian Tribe:Chinook Nation." Chinook Indian Tribal Council. 1999-2005. http://www.chinooknation.org 17 Nov 2008.This website is the official site of the Chinook Nation today. There is a student history download on the bottom left corner of the page that has some history and some diagrams. The download was very wordy, but the diagrams looked different from the book information. The other parts to the website were not useful.
Drucker, Philip. "Chinook (American Indian tribe)." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. 2008. Grolier Online. 17 Nov. 2008 http://gme.grolier.com/cgi-bin/article?assetid=0061320-0. Interesting information about the Chinook in a very readable form and not overwhelming.
Gould, Richard A. "Chinook." Encyclopedia Americana. 2008. Grolier Online. 17 Nov. 2008 http://ea.grolier.com/cgi-bin/article?assetid=0091640-00. Information has a few more facts than the previous site, but clicking on the web links brings up another annotated list of sources. Great!
Essential questions
Each tribe must on their front page begin to explore what essential questions are going to need to be answered.
But first, what is an essential question?
An essential question:
provokes deep thought.
solicits information-gathering and evaluation of data.
results in an original answer.
helps you conduct problem-related research.
makes you produce original ideas rather than predetermined answers.
may not have an answer.
encourages critical thinking not just memorization of facts.
can't be answered in one word or sentence
It's tough but.....
Think of 3 essential questions and post these on your main tribe page.
